BMW touts i-brand electric vehicles in new video

Both the i3 and i8 concepts roll through the Windy City as BMW touts their practicality and appeal to city dwellers. The video also shows a mobile-phone service called DriveNow that locates parking, plug-in charging locations and food and entertainment points.

The BMW i3 city car will be available in 2013, and the sportier i8 is to arrive in 2014.
